Where are you located? Do you have a store I can come feel up the hair in?

We're located just outside the Greater Toronto Area in Canada. We do not have any retail locations that sell our hair. We sell exclusively online. Unfortunately, we do not have pick up available :)

Which hair texture will best resemble my own?

The rich diversity of Black hair can be confusing at times. So, let’s break it down:

Light Yaki - If you want hair that matches a chemically relaxed/ bone straight look, Light Yaki is the way to go. Although straight, it’s not silky or overly shiny-- a dead giveaway that you’re wearing extensions.

Coarse Yaki - Not everyone likes hair that’s bone straight. If you like a more textured, but straightened look, Coarse Yaki is great. It looks like chemically relaxed hair that’s experienced a ton of new growth or if you have natural hair, blew it out and then lightly ran a flat iron through it.

Kinky Blow Out- Kinky Blow Out is similar to a look you can achieve with the blow dryer. It blends well with 4A to 4C hair types. It’s great for big hair and voluminous curls.

Kinky Curly - If you like the look of natural hair that’s blown straight and then curled with flexi-rods, straw sets (and more), Kinky Curl is just your type. Curls in this texture range from tight afro to looser curls. This texture blends best with 3C hair, if you’re planning on leave out.

Afro Kinky Curly - Want to rock bantu knots, two strand twists, afros (and more)? Check out Afro Kinky Curly. Our most popular texture comes in tight curls that can be finger combed into an afro. It blends well with 4A type hair.

Afro Coily - is our smallest and tightest curl pattern and is our 4C hair dupe. This texture can be rocked as is in it's fro-y or makes for excellent twist outs.

This answer really depends on 4 things: the size of your head, the type of hair you want to rock, the length you’re going for, and where you’d like to be on the scale of natural to full on diva (think Chaka Khan or Solange). If you’re going for a wearable, everyday look, here’s our recommendations:

What is a full bundle of hair?

A full bundle of hair is one (1) "pack" of hair. This is approx. 4oz of hair. How many of the bundles you will need is dependant on the look your after, if you you'll have any leave out and the size of your head. See previous FAQ for our recommendations.

What is a half bundle of hair?

For those who want a little extra without committing to the full lot, half a bundle of hair is a 2 oz supplementary bundle. It can be used to add volume or length. See previous FAQ for our recommendations.

Can I colour/cut/style my hair?

Definitely! Your hair is human hair and can be treated as you treat your own hair. Darken it, lighten it, lay it to the side, but remember: you take full responsibility for any problems that may result from you chemically processing your hair.

How long will my hair last?

It really depends on the wearer and how they care for the hair. Because the hair is 100% human hair, it responds to how you care for it. Our hair is steam processed to pattern. The coarse texture we’ve created makes the hair vulnerable to shedding and tangling, like any kinky texture. A little bit of shedding is to be expected, and we highly recommend that you seal the wefts before installing our wefted full bundles.

For our curly textures needs a simple co-wash regimen. If you experience heavy product buildup, you can also treat it with a clarifying shampoo followed by a deep condition with a moisture rich condition. Here’s a few products we recommend for curly textures:

You will need to wash your hair. No worries! We send you Hair Care instructions with your purchase :) The instructions can also be found here

What does "Natural" mean for hair colour?

It means that it's the natural colour of the donor as it's 100% Virgin Human Hair in terms of colour. Natural colour ranges from natural brown to natural black. By leaving the hair in it's natural colour, we're ensuring we're providing you with the highest quality hair extensions.

All of our hair textures can be dyed darker or lighter. Please keep in mind that colouring hair, even your own hair, can damage the integrity of the strands if done improperly.

Dyeing the hair darker can easily be done with any box dye. Lightening the hair is more complex and it's recommended that you have a professional colourist do to keep the hair healthy.

Can I straighten the curly hair?

Technically you can, but why would you want to? We do not recommend it. The curly hair textures undergo and special steam processed and high heat will either loosen the curl beyond bounce or destroy it altogether. If wearing both straight and curly hair is important, we suggest buying one of our straight textures, Light Yaki, Coarse Yaki or Kinky Blow Out.

Can I swim with this hair?

Chlorine and saltwater are not friends with Afro hair in general. Your own hair would become dry and tangled as the water strips hair of it's moisture. The same goes for hair extensions. We recommend that you look cute with your head above water. ;)

Our hair is 100% virgin human hair that we then put through a special process to create our signature textures. There are no synthetic fillers or harmful chemicals to irritate your skin like synthetic hair does. You can manipulate the hair, twist outs, dye, styled with heat tools or left as is, just like our hair. Plus, with good care, you can have your hair for up to a year or more. Also, KinkyCurlyYaki is a small, black woman owned business, so you're supporting one of our own.

Do you sell salt & pepper hair or grey hair?

It's something we're working on. :)
